No, do not use ThermaCare on an area of the skin where other topical medicines (like topical antibiotics, pain relieving creams, hydrocortisone creams, or poison ivy creams) have been applied within the past 24 hours, because it may cause injury to the skin or may alter the effect of the topical medication.
